Secret Place

Psalms 91:1 – He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

            This beautiful Psalm speaks to us about dwelling in the secret place of the Most High.  This Psalm is known as the protection Psalm.  It teaches that there is a place of safety in the presence of God.  Many believers have claimed the promises in these Scriptures for protection.

What does the author mean about dwelling in the secret place of the Most High?  The secret place is a place of fellowship and communion that we can enjoy in relationship with the Lord.  God desires to have a personal intimate relationship with each of His children.

Jesus referred to the secret place in Matthew 6:6.  “But you, when you pray, go into your room (closet), and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” God is calling us into the secret closet to impart divine inspiration and direction for our lives.

The secret place is a place that can only be found in His presence.  It is the meeting place where He lifts us above the normal ordinary burdensome problems and trials that we are facing.  The secret place is where we learn to discern His voice.  It is the place where we learn what pleases or displeases Him. 

Who can come into this secret place?  It is a place reserved by our Heavenly Father for every believer.  The Holy Spirit calls us away from the distractions and noises we encounter in our daily lives into a place of communion and fellowship with Him.

 The Apostle Paul referred to the secret place as being “seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 1:3).  It is in the secret place that we understand that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing.


The Lord invites each of us into this secret place.  We must be willing to spend time seeking His face, searching His heart, and learning His ways.  The secret place is calling today.

Rebuilding the Broken Altar of Prayer

In Matthew 21: 12-13 , “ Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Jesus made this declaration, “My house shall be called a house of prayer!”  I believe that God is calling us back to the altar of prayer.  For several weeks the Lord has dealt with me about rebuilding the broken altar of prayer in our personal and corporate lives.  If we are going to see spiritual breakthrough in our churches and communities then we must rebuild and return to the altar of prayer. Wayman Rogers writes, “The ministry of prayer is the most important of all ministries in the church.  Prayer creates the atmosphere and binds the powers of darkness so the gospel of Jesus can go forward and the church can prosper....

The Shout of a King is Among Them

Numbers 23:21 - “He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, Nor has He seen wickedness in Israel. The Lord his God  is  with him, And the shout of a King  is  among them.” In this passage of Scripture, the king of Moab had hired the prophet Balaam to speak a curse over the children of Israel.   He saw Israel as a threat to his kingdom.   Numbers 22:2-3 – “Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the children of Israel.” When the enemy sees the people of God rising up in faith, he becomes very concerned and moves to keep us from fulfilling our assignment.   We learn in Numbers, Balaam could only speak what the Lord gave him to speak.   Instead of a curse he speaks a blessing. The enemy seeks our destruction, but God!   Listen to the conversation between God and Satan in ...

They Turned Back in the Day of Battle

Psalms 78:9 – “ “The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.”             Ephraim was the younger of two sons of Joseph.   His first born was Manasseh.   It was Ephraim that received the blessing of Jacob.   The tribe of Ephraim became the largest of the ten northern tribes of Israel.   Many times the Bible used the name Ephraim to represent the whole nation of Israel.             In verse 9 they are armed and carrying bows.   They are dressed, equipped, and ready to battle.   Yet we learn that they turned back in the day of battle.   The Bible identifies this as sin.   To turn back in the day of battle was displeasing to God.               To be armed meant that they were equipped with armor, a sword, and a shield. ...
